STEP INTO A WORLD OF IMAGINATION
Waldorf School Orange County’s Early Childhood Program celebrates the riches of a child’s imagination and honors the notion that a child’s play is her truest work.
In our Early Childhood classrooms, simplicity is key. Toys are crafted of natural materials and feature beautiful colors and textures to encourage, but not overstimulate, the senses.
The school days are rhythmical.
There are no desks, no flashcards, no tests, no iPads, and no homework.
Children at this age learn with their bodies. Pre-literacy and math skills are introduced in circle time, games, finger knitting, singing, cooking and more.
When our children move on to first grade, they do so with a variety of skills – rooted in play – that promote academic readiness without the burden of advanced, abstract concepts that do not serve the younger mind.
We are helping your child build a strong foundation from the ground up.
“Play is the royal road to childhood happiness and adult brilliance.”

Join us for an Early Child Information Evening, where WSOC Teachers describe the EC curriculum, activities and developmental philosophy. This is the perfect opportunity to ask questions and see whether or not a Waldorf Education matches your education philosophy.
Attendance is mandatory for those with children entering Kindergarten (one meeting per family is required)!
ADULTS ONLY, please, so we are able to focus entirely on each other. Thanks!
